Dr. Hiluluk learns from Dr. Kureha what he knows already: he is on the verge of death. Infected by a strong bacteria, he will not live more than three or four days. However, that is not sufficient to complete the research he has made during the last 30 years -- a cure for any disease. He begs Kureha to give him more time so that he can complete the Cherry blossom miracle. Kureha mocks him and tells him that his one time cure that he believe to help him as a thief will not cure Drum Island, revealing the man in the story was actually Kureha himself.

While Dr. Kureha argues with Hiluluk, she notices Chopper is spying on them from the window. Chopper, understanding that Hiluluk chased him only so that he does not see his only friend die, started a journey to help the sick doctor.

After a week of hard struggles, he returns to the fake doctor's lab with a Amiudake mushroom in his hand. While he gave the mushroom to Hiluluk, Chopper asks him to live and to teach him how to become a doctor.
